On the third day of the third month of the tenth year of Daye, more than 40,000 troops swore to fight in the Golden Lion Fort. The more than 40,000 troops were drawn by the Khitan, the Mohe and the Sui Dynasty, divided into nine armies, with 5,000 men as one army, and 36 young generals from the army, and nine veteran generals who had been experienced for a long time were led by nine young generals, including Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Luo Lin, Zhang Jin, Li Chengyi, Zhang Yong, Chen Lei, and other nine young generals, respectively, were divided into two deputy generals of the army, and a veteran general was appointed as the chief of the army.

Forty-five thousand soldiers, one cavalry, and a few infantry were all horse-riding infantry. The Khitan and the Marine were all divided into the Nine Army. All the tribe leaders and generals were left behind, only the troops were dispatched but not the generals. All the generals at all levels were served by the Sui Army. The army was mostly composed of non-commissioned officers who were studied in the Pojun martial arts lecture hall, and the other officers at all levels were also drawn from the teaching teams, teaching groups, and teaching battalions at all levels in the army. This was a brand new combination of troops and horses, full of vitality.

The young generals were extremely active in getting the opportunity to lead the army alone. In the army, there is a place where people talk about placing talents and qualifications more than anywhere else. If young generals like them were placed among other soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, they might not have the chance to lead the army alone for another ten or twenty years.

Amid the rumbling drums, nine young generals took the sealing sign talisman from Chen Kefu and the horizontal sword given by Chen Kefu personally.

The soldiers of the Nine Army all shouted and saluted above the city tower. Qin Qiong shouted, took the lead, led the troops to turn around, and set out towards the vast grassland.

Emperor Gaoyang is stationed!

In the Hue Pavilion, the four upstart ministers who were involved in the court affairs were discussed by Emperor Yang Guangzheng, Yu Wen Shu, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and Pei Shiju.

Yang Guang handed the hand roll in his hand to Yuwen Shu, "Dear friends, what do you think of this matter?"

The hand scroll passed through the four people in a circle, and Yuwen Shu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is actually a good thing."

"How can I see it?" Pei Yun said.

Yuwen Shu bowed to Yang Guang and said, "Chen Kefu sent troops to fight Shiwei. First of all, no matter what the result is, as long as he leads troops northward, it means he has left Liaodong. Your Majesty transferred all officials to Liaodong in order to restrain Chen Kefu and to completely stabilize the newly captured land of Liaodong. Now Chen Kefu takes the initiative to go north, so next, Lord Fan and others will be the largest, so they can control the local rights of Liaodong without interference. Even if Chen Kefu pacifies Shiwei, then at this time, Lord Fan and others will also stabilize the local rights of Liaodong, which can fully restrain Chen Kefu and divide the Liaodong with his civil and military."

Yu Shiji smiled and nodded, "That's right, and if Chen Kefu's war with the Shiwei people fails, then the strength of the soldiers and horses in his hands will inevitably be greatly damaged. His soldiers and horses are greatly damaged, and the counterattack is most in line with the stability of Liaodong. If he draws against the Shiwei people, then his strength of the soldiers and horses will also be weakened."

"But what if he wins in one battle, or even a big victory? Then Chen Kefu is likely to not only not weaken his troops, but may swell again after defeating Shi Wei people." Pei Yun could not bear Chen Kefu's life in Liaodong in such a way.

Yang Guang stroked his long beard with his hands and chuckled a few times.

"Since he submitted a memorial, he wrote that he was loyal and courageous, how could I deprive him of this opportunity to be loyal? All the world is the king's land, the guest of the earth is the king's minister. The great world is the king's land. No matter how brave and fierce Chen Kefu is, he is just a minister of my Great Sui Dynasty. He will let him go, and he will not be able to defeat Shi Wei. At that time, he will lose his troops and generals, and he will consume his own strength. At that time, I don't have to discuss his crimes for his defeat, I just need to give an imperial edict and transfer him into the capital."

"If he really defeated Shi Wei, it would first greatly increase our reputation in the Sui Dynasty and once again shocked the tribes in western Liaoning. Moreover, although Shi Wei people are small tribes in western Liaoning, they have always been fierce. How could they admit defeat so easily? When I fought Goguryeo, it was not a few years before Chen Kefu finally got a bargain? It is hard to say that Chen Kefu will fall into a continuous war with the Shi Wei people in the future. No matter what, there is no need to discuss the issue of Chen Kefu sending troops. Regardless of whether it is successful or failure, the overall situation in Liaodong will be unhindered." For Yang Guang, Chen Kefu sent troops only to make him feel at ease. If it comes, Chen Kefu would give Liaodong to these prefects to manage, which is exactly what he wants.

Pei Shiju continued, "What should we do if this Khitan Yaonian tribe, Adina, who was transferred by Chen Kefu, asks to enthrone the Khitan king?"

"Your Majesty, this Khitan was originally a dog of the Turks. During the Kaihuang period, our general Wei Yunqi led his troops to defeat the Khitan, beheading more than 10,000 people, and captured more than 40,000. Among them, there were the Yaonian tribes. Now they suddenly requested Ce to be the King of Khitans, and Chen Kefu also expressed their agreement. According to my opinion, he was buying the hearts of the Khitans, and his heart could be punished." Pei Yun said with a cold face.

"Not proper!" Pei Shiju shook his head, "Your Majesty, the Turks have now recovered their strength. Shibi Khan Ashinaduji, who came to power four years ago, has vaguely stopped submitting to our Great Sui Dynasty. The Khitan, Xi tribe, and Shiwei tribe were originally surrendering to the Turks, but now the Xi tribe is still surrendering to the Turks. Shiwei is being attacked by Chen Kefu, and the remaining Khitan is the strongest among the three tribes. However, it was previously divided into two tribes by Chen Kefu's reuse. One of the He clans has been forced to go to the fore and has already attached itself to Liaodong."

"The remaining nine Khitan tribes have changed the rule of the previous two tribe alliances and become the dominant one of the Yaonian clans. At this time, since they are willing to get rid of the Turks and request that Your Majesty make a plan to be named King of Khitan, then at this time, we should agree to his request. Not only will the Khitan be nominally replaced by our Great Sui Dynasty, but they can also separate the Khitan from the Turks' subordinates and weaken their strength. Your Majesty, now Goguryeo has been pacified, and the biggest threat around the Great Sui Dynasty is to move Turks. The Turks are not like Goguryeo, and although the harm is not as good as Goguryeo in the long run. But they immediately have millions of people who control strings, and come and go like the wind. If they rebel, then my north of the Great Sui Dynasty will suffer."

Although Pei Shiju was a minister, he also had a recognized identity, that is, the most foreign minister since Changsun Sheng of the Great Sui Dynasty. His foreign strategies from the Great Sui Dynasty since Yang Guang ascended the throne were basically formulated by him. None of the neighboring diplomatic strategies of the Great Sui Dynasty could see more clearly and profoundly than him.

He had clearly realized that after pacifying Goguryeo, the biggest enemy of the Sui Dynasty had changed from Goguryeo in the east to Turks in the north. More than ten years ago, the Turks were just defeated by the Western Turks, but as a result, under the strategy of the weak and strong in the Sui Dynasty, they supported them again, giving them valuable opportunities to cultivate and survive.

Now many years have passed, and the Sui Dynasty successfully united the Turks to defeat the Western Turks and divided the Western Turks into three parts. Even the Great Khan Chuluo Khan was forced to surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty, granted a title, stayed in the Central Plains, and became Yang Guang's senior guard official.

However, the times changed. After the last Turkic Khan, Qimin Khan, died four years ago, the new Shibi Khan was unwilling to surrender to the Great Sui Dynasty. He even secretly prepared to rebel and become independent again. All this was like a drama that was constantly repeated.

But even so, it cannot be said that the strategy of the Great Sui was wrong, because when the strategy of the Great Sui was very correct. When the Great Sui was established, it only accounted for about a quarter of the world in the Central Plains. However, under this differentiation and strategy of joining the weak and strong, a powerful Turkic Empire was defeated into two Turks in the east and west. Even in the following decades, when the Turkic Turks were strong, they joined the Western Turks to fight against the Turks, and when the Western Turks were strong, they joined the Turks to fight against the Western Turks. In short, after decades of fighting, the Great Sui dispatched not many troops, but they successfully maintained the stability of the vast border for twenty or thirty years.

At present, the power of the Western Turks was at its weakest, but the Turks quickly recovered in the wars of the Great Sui Dynasty and Goguryeo. At this time, if the Turks could not be stopped, the Turks could have annexed the Western Turks in one fell swoop and merged into a unified Turkic Empire again. At that time, the strategic advantages obtained by the efforts of the Great Sui Dynasty over the past few years would have nothing. The border that had been stable for many years would start again.

Yang Guang nodded. The tribes on the grassland have always been a great threat to the Central Plains dynasty. Although they are not as harmful as the rising farming dynasty like Goguryeo, the destined invasion of the grassland people also caused a huge harm. If they cannot be strong and restrained, then the Central Plains border will eventually be no longer peaceful. There are Xianbei in front and Rouran in the back, and to the Turks now, after each tribe is strong, they will no longer threaten the Central Plains dynasty. By that time, the entire Sui Dynasty will always be guarded against, and there is a border of tens of thousands of miles, because the Turks may invade from any place at any time.

Yang Guang still had too many great achievements to establish. How could he be willing to destroy his dynasty in the hands of these Turkic robbers in the future? He would never allow it. He had already pacified Goguryeo, and the next time was to build more achievements again.

"Okay, I will issue an order to grant Adina, Yaonian clan, to be the King of Khitan, to establish the three departments of the Ministry of Education, to establish the Khitan General Office, and to grant Adina as the Chief Executive Office. In addition, his son Abaoku was appointed as the Chief Executive of the Pulver Kingdom and founded the Duke of Liaoxi County."

After pondering for a while, Yang Guang continued, "I will issue an order to be appointed as the Dahe Mohui as the Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the deputy left-behind Liaodong, and the founding Duke of Wuluo County. His son Moge was the Zhuguo, Shun'an Hou, and Moyun was appointed as the Zhuguo and Shunyi Hou."

"In addition, Pei Aiqing, you also put in a group to the front and sent a mission to the Turks. On the one hand, we will mobilize the current bottom of Bikhan Ashina and Duji in the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, we will see if there is any chance to differentiate and weaken the Turks. On the other hand, you will continue to win over the three Western Turks tribes, express our support to them by the Great Sui Dynasty, and also strengthen our relations with the countries in the Western Regions to allow them to restrain the Turks in the west."
